About Me
Hi, I’m Rae! I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Design Studies with a minor in Ceramic Arts from San Jose State University, and an Associates Degree in Animation from De Anza.
For me, graphic design is all about communication and visual storytelling. My goal is to create designs that not only convey messages effectively but also resonate on a deeper level through compelling narratives. I love experimenting with a variety of mediums, believing that exploring different methods of visual creation adds richness and texture to my work. By approaching ideas from multiple angles, I aim to uncover the most impactful and engaging solutions.
